TINNIN, Robert,

6545/6543/6544
Generally the spelling for Frances in Frances M. Jones, for the ladies is Frances,
and for the
gentlemen Francis with the "i". When I see this misspelling except for the
Tombstone inscription I usually correct it. The name Tinnin above is likely a
stone misspelling also of Tennin or Tennon.
Three box tombs are present here
along with the tomb of Mary Anderson which is a tall stellae type that had fallen
over. All are in vary bad condition, the tombs are all broken and dismantled and
the Frances Jones tomb was the only boxtomb whereby the inscription remains strong. The
other two box tombs are soft and peeling off.
This Cemetery presentation is based on the
photography of Wayne Austin on 28 Nov 2012 6533-6542 & again after lifting the Anderson
stone from a hole in the ground and finding, identifying and uncovering the
three box tombstones on 4 Dec 2012 6543-6570. Uploaded here by C. Wayne Austin of Madison Alabama
on 4 Dec 2012. This cemetery was also presented in the book Limestone County Alabama
Cemeteries by Linda H. Smith on page 1 & 2, surveyed 1 Feb 1992. I have made
no exceptions to Linda's listings.
